Houston Weather: Hot holiday weekend, rain returns next week

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Hot, sunny weather will rule the holiday weekend ahead. You'll want to protect yourself from the sun and stay well hydrated if you'll be spending time outdoors this weekend.

Heat index values will peak between 100 and 105 degrees, but a strong southeast breeze will help out a little. Those strong southeast winds will also lead to an increased risk of rip currents developing along the coast.
